It’s eight p.m. Post dinner, I’m watching ‘The Good Place’ on Netflix in my room when I get a text.
Unknown number: Knock knock.
I stare at the notification for a few seconds. The only name that comes to my mind is Saahil.
Mishti: Who’s there?
Unknown number: Level up.
Oh my God! Could it be Saahil? But I never gave him my number. I can’t believe he would go through the trouble of getting it.
Mishti: Level up who?
Unknown number: Level up your sense of humor, Mist. You can’t keep getting upset every time I make a joke.
My cellphone drops from my hands. It’s a good thing I am on my bed. I pick it up again.
Mishti: Vikram?
Unknown number: The one and only.
Mishti: How did you get my number?
Unknown number: Stupid question. I’m Vikram Sethi, and I can do anything.
I don’t get it.
